Finger Picking

Posted: February 9, 2010

So I’ve learned that finger picking is NOT very easy for me. I usually default to strumming everything because that’s my strength, but lately I’ve been wanting to expand my skills.

That being said, all you who can finger pick, enjoy, because I stink at it. ;-)

I found a website that I’ve been pulling from. Simple things really. For those of you playing at home, I’m starting with the basics.

I’ve attached the sheet I’m currently working on. I’ve pretty much mastered the good ole P-M-I-A form. I used it on Jesus Be the Center on You Wait and Again I Come. That is the extent of my finger picking knowledge. I could blame my mother (hee hee) but really I’m just incredibly lazy when it comes to practicing.

So I’m turning over a new leaf.

I’m going to practice.

I promise. (Wish me luck)

Silent Night – Free Download

Posted: December 14, 2009

Hey guys,

In honor of Christmas, I wanted to make an old record of Silent Night available to you.

This recording was originally done for a Christmas sampler back in 2002.

I’ve made it available in the past, but I thought I’d bring it around again.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
